This week's meals for us:

• Veg mince chilli con carne SS made at school
• Fish in roasted red pepper sauce with rice, changed to fresh fruit as we had a glut
• not sure, just DD and me (usually 5 of us) so will give her the choice - home made chips and fried eggs, mmm!

Yup. always serve veg with it or else hide veg in it (eg my version of shepherds pie usually has mushrooms, sweetcorn, parsnips in to get extra veg into the kids without all the extra pans) - then I'll serve something like green beans or spinach with it too

My veg choice I leave to that night depending on what I fancy preparing/cooking/or eating Also what actually looks like it needs using up!!

Hi
I am guessing that this is a pampered chef party, basically it is a party where a pampered chef representative comes round and is selling cooking/kitchen items and cooks a savoury and a sweet for everyone to try in order to show how the equipment can be used....

They are really good but the stuff is quite expensive... i would highly reccommend the stoneware!!
